EYA requests extension for Chevy Chase Lake projects #DC #Bethesda

Bethesda developer EYA is asking the Montgomery County Planning Board for an extension of the review period of two Chevy Chase Lake project site plans, and of a sketch plan amendment. The request states that more time is necessary to address unspecified issues brought up by the County's Development Review Committee, as well as feedback on its sketch plan.

Part of this stems from the number of agencies who are represented on the DRC, which has members from utilities like WSSC and Pepco, the Maryland State Highway Administration, and county departments like Public Works and Transportation, Permitting Services and Environmental Protection. Addressing concerns from all of those agencies at once can be a complicated task.

The requested extensions are all 2.5 months, pushing the deadline back to July 30, 2015. Planning staff are recommending approval of the request. That request will be taken up by the Planning Board at its May 14 meeting.
